Single Stage Installation

In a single stage installation, there are no additional switches daisy chained
from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the installation
diagrams on the following pages (the numbers in the diagrams correspond to
the numbers of the installation steps), and do the following:
1. Ground the CL5808/CL5816 by connecting one end of a grounding wire
to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. If you choose to connect an external console to the CL5808/CL5816, use
the console cable provided to plug a keyboard, monitor, and mouse into
the Console Port. See Console Cable Installation Diagram, page 16.
Note: 1. Connecting an external console is optional.
2. You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse
connections. For example, you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a
USB mouse.
3. For each of the computers you are installing, use a KVM cable set (as
described in the Cables section on page 5), to connect any available KVM
port to the computer's keyboard, video and mouse ports. See KVM Cable
Installation Diagrams, page 16.
4. Plug the power cord into the CL5808/CL5816 power socket and into a AC
power source.
After you have completed the installation procedures, power on the CL5808/
CL5816 (see Powering Off and Restarting, page 25 for details). After the
CL5808/CL5816 is powered on, power on the computers.
